Abstract
The motion of a melt-blown fiber was experimentally measured. After ex iting the spinning die, a melt-blown fiber was found to vibrate with f requencies and amplitudes that were functions of the operating conditi ons (polymer flow rate, polymer temperature, air flow rate, and air te mperature). Fiber amplitude was measured with both multiple-image flas h photography and laser Doppler velocimetry. Fiber frequency was measu red with laser Doppler velocimetry.
